Any other Mustachians work for Varsity Tutors?

I've been looking at ways to earn some extra coin and wanted some experience in working with students. As I don't have time or desire to do teaching or subbing, one of my still-in-college friends pointed me to online tutoring. He's done freelance a number of ways before, but recently joined Varsity Tutors and has, so far, enjoyed it. I gave it a try and have my first student lined up, so we'll see how it goes.

So far, the organization itself has been friendly enough and cooperative. The pay for online is fairly low ($15/hour, whereas my friend was making $20/hour on some of his freelance gigs and I know higher is out there), but the investment is also low. VT provides the meeting space online, the students, and the bookkeeping (to an extent; they provide the paperwork for federal taxes, but not state for obvious reasons). It's not as good as in person would be, but for someone in my position, it'll do.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
